      It means get rid of the ultra rich, and you can establish a baseline of income / stability for everyone. Its an extremely small group of people who couldn’t exist without the 99% being poor / working our asses off no matter how much productivity and technology has advanced

      Everyone gets a set amount, like $10k.

      $10k helps people only making $35k annually a lot more than people making $500k, and those people making $500k are paying a lot more in taxes.

      It’s wealth redistribution and it will need to happen as automation begins to impact the middle-class a lot more.
